    Hi Rob, I´m realy amazed how those thin wooden (rather broad) stripes followed the 3-dimensional curvature of the hull lines. Was that thin ply with outside pine layer, or pine veneer ? You`v tried out an alternative and inovative way of fast planking, and if you`re planing to do a second planking, this first planking is a good foundation to work on. Even if you`re intending to leave as is, putting on a little filler resin here and there (for later painting). you`ll have an extreme lightweight hull Nils

    amazing, Patrick, its fantastic what all this "lilliput craft" bears behind its walls and decks. A real good job you certainly can be proud of Nils

    Thanks Piet, much appreciated, your nice comment Nils

    Thanks so much Martin, those sidewise skylight frames were realy fiddely work, and not so easy to hold during filing in order to get them shiny again after the soldering... Nils

    Many thanks Mmdd, very nice historic pic, is this also from your book ? Due to the window shape I unfortunately ca`nt identify where the background area is situated on board, but due to the lighting condition it must be outdoor somewhere..... Nils

    Thank you very much Patrick, Nils

    thanks very much Carl, I´m pleased you like it.... I know that at this scale some modelers only paint the frames and window panes to the background walls, alternatively I have chosen the frames in brass with a clear varnish coating ( keep them shiny )and the window panes resembled with silver grey paint Nils

    Beautiful lines John, the frame body plan as I understand shows typical french lines, very elegant design... Nils

    Update.... machine room lights, dry-fit in area of waist between the two last funnels. I only fitted 12 lights on every side, in actual it would have been 15.... Nils

    interesting technique you are using Alex, the hull looks great so far, am curious how the plating shall work out.... Nils
  15. Mirabell61
    a beautiful build ! those nose rails look so fine, you sure perform an excellent scratching technique.... Nils
  16. Mirabell61
    nice work Piet, the "Red Lion" probably the ship`s nickname.... Nils
  17. Mirabell61
    Good work Bob, the fitting out with deck equipment and machinery looks very nice... Nils

    welcome to MSW Hervie, wish you a pleasant stay and much fun in modeling your "Syren" Nils

    Update.... further production of windows and doors, and deck cabin walls....., the deck cabins will probably be in 4 seperate sections Nils once the next deck is on, there will be no more access to these screws mass production of promenade deck brass window frames and doors, those for the aft cabin are already mounted

    wonderful work Glenn, the planked wall stucture, the stairs and window outcuts look great... Nils
  21. Mirabell61
    very good work Bob, those mortar pits and deck look lovely also nice choise of wooden tones ..... Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    beautiful work Pawel, that bomb storage down over the keel must have been a super dangerous place......... Nils

    Hi Bob, jep, I was evaluating the same thoughts, and therefore already gathering suitable 1:160 people around or near to 1900-1920, and these are hard enough to get. perhaps I need to tune the clothes a bit This pic I was kindly posted by member "Mr. Hollom" earlier in this build log, that`s about what it should be......, or near to Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    Thank you very much Denis, I am still seeking for turn of the century figures preferably in 1:144 scale and unfortunately ca`nt find any. There are very few for example from Preiser in scale 1:160, these being a tic too small, but better that without..... Should anyone come cross a source I would greatly appreciate for any hint... The airline figures I am using, in proper scale 1:144, are just for dimensional configuration in the moment. Nils

    interesting Project Rob, that four masted clipper ship must have been one of the largest and beautiful clippers ever built in wood. Encouraged by an article here at MSW I was curious about this ship and looked up the appropriate pages in the heritage Dec. 1935 edition of the Popular Science Magazine. (frame plan on page 95) I wish you a good start with your project, and much fun with digging out, exploring and gathering all you need for that lovely build. Will be following the "rebirth" of this clipper... Nils

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
